UPDATE: when I went to check on my stuff a few minutes later and add a dryer sheet, a large, dumpy, "headphones adult" with rainbow hair was going in while I was leaving the laundry room. She asked if my stuff was waiting and told me she's moving her laundry right now. I politely informed her there's no need, because it's on the table. She looked completely perplexed, mouth agape. So to connect the dots, I informed her that it's been sitting in there for quite some time and I moved it.
She began to get angry and started fidgeting and asking why I would do something like that. I mentioned there's a social contract and she should set an alarm for the time that the machine tells you it'll be done.
She began crying, tell me that I shouldn't have done that, she can't believe I touched her underwear, and that she has OCD and has to rewash it.
I then informed her that no, I did not touch her underwear, I grabbed an entire ball of laundry and put it on the table. She then ran towards the laundry room crying and yelling about her OCD.
As the door was closing behind her I said
"I hope things get better for you!"
Just tossed someone's laundry on the folding table because it's been done in the dryer for an hour. I'm sick of waiting for them to uphold their end of the shared laundry social contract.

GP I don't want to say he's wrong so I won't.
Rock veteran Todd Rundgren used a wide-ranging interview to take aim at Taylor Swift, calling her the "apotheosis of mediocrity" and arguing she has done lasting damage to popular music. trib.al/Ijd8Lk6

GP You can complain all you want about driverless cars but I for one am all in favor of them and want them to come faster.*
I'm looking at aged parent and inlaws who shouldn't be driving and still wanting independence.
Plus, I'm getting older, too.
*assuming we can still get driver controlled vehicles

Trump promised everyone $5000 literally last week.
Democrat socialists love to promise free stuff.
But they never mention who pays for it.
Community note
"President Donald Trump has proposed several direct cash payouts and rebates funded by tariffs or budget cuts. None were provided."

Rx My 'Boomer' pediatrics professor would routinely round with a cup of coffee. He'd plop down into a chair in the room with his cup o Joe and talk to the parents and the patient like he had nowhere else to be.
I used to round with coffee until JHACO and facist nurse managers put a kibosh on it.
Gen Z is getting roasted online for this job interview habit: showing up with an iced coffee.
Some recruiters and etiquette experts warn that walking in with a drink can come across as too casual, or even make the interview look like just another stop on your schedule.
But job seekers are pushing back, arguing that showing up on time with coffee has nothing to do with professionalism. One recruiter even says it could signal good time management.
The bigger issue may be perception. Etiquette expert Diane Gottsman says what seems perfectly fine to one interviewer could rub another the wrong way, so candidates may want to "err on the side of caution."
And it’s not just coffee. See the other seemingly harmless habits experts say could affect that crucial first impression:

Rx So no repeat Ice Storm in Nashville next February?
Good
Nearly half a million people across the world could lose their lives by February due to El Niño-driven extreme heat, according to a sobering new report.
El Niño, a natural climate pattern which typically ramps up global temperature, has now crossed into super-sized territory and is on its way to becoming record-breakingly strong. abc7ne.ws/CULl2p

GP The Iran War isn't causing high mortgage rates. Decades of you asshats borrowing more than we can afford caused bond rates to spike.
Investors are starting to realize we're not going to repay our debt in full.
Donald Trump and his @SenateGOP enablers did this to the American people.
And they’ve voted 14 times, including TODAY, to keep it that way.

GP I support banning all union political contributions in politics.
Deal?
The root of corruption is money in politics.
Do you support @kenmartin73 grassroots initiative to ban Super PAC money, including AIPAC, in Democratic primaries?
House Democrats support below, except we would not have kicked John Lewis out at 75.

GP Clown show. Bhargouti is a convicted murderer who founded the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
He's a terrorist. Rot in prison, then hell afterwards. Bhargouti. Maybe Khanna, too, after this crapfest.

GP Pretty okay with cutting the government payroll. And government annual and sick leave policies are far more generous than practically any in the private sector.
The Trump Administration already slashed the Social Security and IRS workforce.
Now, they want to limit workers' access to annual and sick leave.
More workers will flee, and Social Security and IRS customer service will only get worse. I'm pushing back.
